Location: 6 String Ranch | While this doesn't count as a regular gig as you intended DB, this summer up north there was a regular circuit of open mics I went to, Wednesday at the Gypsy Joynt then Maragaritas, Thursday the Guthrie Center, Friday at La Salle's Market, and a few others thrown in for fun. Not really like a gig since you only get two or three tunes usually.
The tricky thing was to keep a list of what I played where so as not to repeat, or to keep it to an intentional minimum.
The second part was to never play the same guitar twice.....
Or wear the same shirt...........
Now the wiseass, but not really, second part is to stand or not. The honest answer is that some songs I do better sitting and some are better standing. Most songs sound best in my bathroom in Florida, but that's another issue...... |

Believe me, if I was lucky enough to be around Woodstock I would be at that get together. I'd like to play Weasers's Ute. AlanM could play lead guitar, Michelle sing harmony, and Weas....uh...serve drinks. Perfect. I wish you could come too! Seeing Weaser in a tie-dyed shirt would be worth it.

Location: Michigan | now this thread is becoming allot of fun , just like the o.f.c. that i am use to .
it will start serious and then go of course for a while and become amusing to be part of and then it will eventually get back to the original format without being locked out or anyone taking any offense to it .
i hope we can keep having fun with our threads even when we go off course a bit . GWB |

Location: Flahdaw | The difference is that I started this thread, and since I am often the cause of threads going off-course, how could I take offense when my own does. (I actually look forward to threads going off course so I can jump in the pool) |

Any one wanting a bit of "practice" in front of a most assuredly appreciative audience - this is a great idea - plus solid community service to your fellow man |
